Image: Wardrop and Crockett Image: Wardrop and Crockett INTRODUCTION The existence of a replica of the Atlantic Wall on the Sheriffmuir Hills above Dunblane seems to have remained something of a secret for over 70 years. It has been recorded and listed as an historic monument. However, locals still seem to know very little about it. Some ten years ago the husband of one of our museum volunteers mentioned that he had been in Dunblane in 1943 working on the construction of the wall at Sheriffmuir. In August 2012 Gordon sent us a letter about his time in Dunblane. He apologises that his memory is not as clear as it once was: 49th Division came to Scotland in July 1943 for training in its role of assault division for the Normandy landings. The various units of its infantry, artillery, engineers, etc were located in all areas across the country from Ayrshire to Inverness, and moved around training sites such as Rothesay, Tighnabruach, Inverary, Dunblane. In late 1943, I spent three weeks in Dunblane with my platoon from 756 Field Coy Royal Engineers. 5 This is a solid concrete gun emplacement in 1943, in France. It gives an idea of the solidity of 03 the German defensive structures that the Allies could expect to encounter. Image:10905058/DPA Mary Evans Picture Library 04 These concrete structures, in Northern France, were known as ‘dragons teeth’. They presented an obstacle to tanks in WW2. The workers who built them file past in the background. Image: 10296234/RHL Mary Evans Picture Library 6 WHAT WAS THE ATLANTIC WALL? A series of concrete defence structures built along the west coast of Europe from the northern tip of Norway to Spain. Built by the Germans using slave labour, between 1942 and 1944, it was to protect against an anticipated invasion of mainland Europe from Britain. In the spring of 1942 this megalomaniac scheme for encasing all Europe in a solid girdle of concrete had one overall title: Atlantic Wall. 7 WHO BUILT THE WALL? ‘Organisation Todt’ were the German Engineers in charge of constructing the wall. They forced approximately 1.4 million labourers into service. Many of them were Prisoners of War, slave labour from occupied countries and others were Germans rejected from military service. All of them were treated as slaves and many did not survive the work. The installations on the sea front and inland together constitute an impregnable fortress! German propaganda Not everyone believed the propaganda. Friedrich Kellner, a German Official kept a diary. His entry for 25th April 1943 made this comment about the actual Atlantic Wall This will not stop the Allies. WHY ARE THERE ATLANTIC WALLS IN THE UK? During WW2 British Military Intelligence gathered information about the German’s Atlantic Wall – its size, structure and the materials it was made of. The Allied Forces knew they would have to break through these German defences for a seaborn invasion into occupied France to be a success. A great deal of effort was put into developing technology to achieve this, including specialised tanks known as “Hobart’s Funnies” and the creation of an anti-concrete committee. Vital information came from the French Resistance, and other sources such as aerial photographs. This enabled accurate mock-ups of the Atlantic Wall to be built in various locations in the UK. These were used for military training and testing prior to D-Day in June 1944. 9 This circular Tobruk shelter 05 gave protection for one man to crouch inside armed with a weapon. It is about 74cm (or 29”) in diameter - a fairly tight fit. This one is at Sheriffmuir. 2014. Image: Wardrop and Crockett Remains of the replica 06 wall at Castlemartin, Pembrokeshire. Unlike the other UK Atlantic Walls this is near the coast. Image: R Thomas Hankley Common Wall, 07 Surrey. A tank, equipped with a device called “The Onion” (or possibly “Double Onion”), carried 1000lb of explosives which were placed against the concrete wall. The explosion created a gap or ‘breach’ in the wall. Image: C Shepheard 10 WHERE ARE THE OTHER UK WALLS? There are five known locations of UK Atlantic Walls: 1 Sheriffmuir, Perthshire 2 Hankley Common, Surrey 3 Castlemartin, Pembrokeshire 4 Sudbourne, Suffolk 5 Shoeburyness, Essex There are probably more replica walls to be discovered. The remains of these walls survive today pockmarked by explosives and surrounded by softer fortifications in the form of ditches and trenches. 11 INTELLIGENCE – FINDING OUT ABOUT THE ‘REAL’ WALL The French Resistance movement was west coast of Europe during WW2. created in 1940 and they were asked by British Intelligence to find out all they could Duchez saw an advertisement requesting about the real Atlantic Wall. By various quotes for redecorating the Todt offices so he cunning means the Caen group collected presented himself and offered to do the work more than 3,000 documents which they sent at a very low price. to London. A chance opportunity allowed him to steal a René Duchez, a painter and decorator, plan of the enemy coastal defences. He hid was a member of the French Resistance it behind a mirror and came back later after in Caen, Normandy, where the German being given the job and retrieved it without Engineering organisation, Todt, had its arousing suspicion. He was the decorator, so HQ. They were responsible for building no-one took any real notice of him. the concrete fortifications along the The stolen document indicated very accurately the position of all the defences and how they were constructed. However, Intelligence in London were concerned that the German Engineers would change the design as soon as they realised that the Allies had got hold of a blueprint. However, Germany kept quiet about their loss. Using this important information the replica walls built in the UK were based on the actual German design. In London a special committee, known as the Anti-Concrete Committee was set up to look at methods of destroying these structures. 08 Left to right: Léon Dunis, Léonard Gille and René Duchez. 12 I really think we have something.

Corresponding author email: [email protected] Abstract Following the evacuation of Alderney, a network of labour and SS concentration camps were built on British soil to house foreign labourers. Despite government-led investigations in 1945, knowledge concerning the history and architecture of these camps remained limited. This article reports on the findings of forensic archaeological investigations which sought to accurately map Sylt labour and concentration camp the for the first time using non-invasive methods and 3D reconstructive techniques. It also demonstrates how these findings have provided the opportunity – alongside historical sources – to examine the relationships between architecture, the landscape and the experiences of those housed there. Introduction The Nazis constructed a network of over 44,000 (concentration, extermination, labour, Prisoner of War (PoW) and transit) camps across Europe, imprisoning and murdering individuals opposed to Nazi ideologies, and those considered racially inferior (Megargee & White 2018). Information about these sites varies in part due to Nazi endeavours to destroy the evidence of their crimes (Arad 1987: 26; Gilead et al. 2010: 14; Sturdy Colls 2015: 3). Public knowledge regarding the camps that were built on British soil in the Channel Islands is particularly limited, not least of all because they were partially demolished and remain “taboo” (Carr & Sturdy Colls 2016: 1). Sylt was one of several camps built on the island of Alderney (Figures 1 & 2).

  • The Demarcation Line
    No.7 “Remembrance and Citizenship” series THE DEMARCATION LINE MINISTRY OF DEFENCE General Secretariat for Administration DIRECTORATE OF MEMORY, HERITAGE AND ARCHIVES Musée de la Résistance Nationale - Champigny The demarcation line in Chalon. The line was marked out in a variety of ways, from sentry boxes… In compliance with the terms of the Franco-German Armistice Convention signed in Rethondes on 22 June 1940, Metropolitan France was divided up on 25 June to create two main zones on either side of an arbitrary abstract line that cut across départements, municipalities, fields and woods. The line was to undergo various modifications over time, dictated by the occupying power’s whims and requirements. Starting from the Spanish border near the municipality of Arnéguy in the département of Basses-Pyrénées (present-day Pyrénées-Atlantiques), the demarcation line continued via Mont-de-Marsan, Libourne, Confolens and Loches, making its way to the north of the département of Indre before turning east and crossing Vierzon, Saint-Amand- Montrond, Moulins, Charolles and Dole to end at the Swiss border near the municipality of Gex. The division created a German-occupied northern zone covering just over half the territory and a free zone to the south, commonly referred to as “zone nono” (for “non- occupied”), with Vichy as its “capital”. The Germans kept the entire Atlantic coast for themselves along with the main industrial regions. In addition, by enacting a whole series of measures designed to restrict movement of people, goods and postal traffic between the two zones, they provided themselves with a means of pressure they could exert at will.

  • Memorial Day 2015
    Memorial Day 2015 Good morning and thank you for coming. It is an honor to see so many people here on a day like this. I would like to thank the students—the students who recited the Gettysburg address and Logan’s General orders so that we will never forget the sacrifice of the men and women who fought 151 years ago this year to keep us free in the civil war, and students who entertained us …. Today, I would like to thank all the veterans who have served us in all wars, and ask all those who have served, in war and in peace, to please raise their hands and be recognized. I want to pause today to recall one specific group of veterans, and one particular day in history, that day, 70 years ago on June 6 and a small beachhead in France at a place that few people at that time had ever heard of – a place called Normandy. This June marks the 70th anniversary of the greatest amphibious landing ever attempted, before or since, the landing at Normandy. Let me take you back to those days in World War 2. America had been in the war for only two and a half years—less than that really since it takes time to train men, deploy them and put them in to battle. It is hard to imagine today, but the war had not gone well at first for the Allies. Allied forces had been driven from Belgium, from Czechoslovakia, France had been overrun, Paris was run by Nazi soldiers, Italy was run by Mussolini-- a Nazi ally, 340,000 British soldiers had been forced to retreat from Europe back to Britain at Dunkirk.
